Right to rectification

The right to rectification entitles a data subject to have inaccurate personal data corrected without undue delay. Where data is incomplete, the data subject may have it completed, including by providing a supplementary statement. Controllers must communicate any rectification to each recipient to whom the data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
